YouTube is no longer just a place to share videos—it is a global stage where singers, creators, and brands connect with billions of people. From music videos to kids’ cartoons and viral dances, some videos have broken records and reached billions of views. In this article, we look at the Top 10 Most Viewed YouTube Videos in 2025, the ones that grabbed attention worldwide and set new records.
Since starting in 2005, YouTube has grown into the biggest video platform in the world. What began as a website for small personal clips has become a hub for global entertainment.
Today, popular videos don’t just get a few million views—they get billions. This shows the power of YouTube in shaping what people watch around the world.
Music videos, kids’ songs, and viral dance trends dominate the list. The most watched YouTube videos show both creativity and the strong impact of fan support and online sharing.
The YouTube viral videos that reach the top usually share similar features: catchy music, easy-to-follow stories, bright colors, and global appeal.
Some, like “Despacito” and “Baby Shark,” became famous because music crosses language barriers. Others, like kids’ cartoons, are fun, colorful, and keep children watching again and again.
Another big reason is that YouTube is free and open worldwide, so billions of people can watch and rewatch their favorite videos anytime.
Here are the videos that sit at the very top in 2025:
“Baby Shark Dance” – Pinkfong Kids’ Songs & Stories
The most viewed video ever with over 14 billion views. Simple, fun, and loved by kids everywhere.
“Despacito” – Luis Fonsi ft. Daddy Yankee

“Johny Johny Yes Papa” – LooLoo Kids

“Shape of You” – Ed Sheeran

Looking at the Top 10 Most Viewed YouTube Videos in 2025, two things stand out—music and kids’ content are the most powerful categories. Songs that connect with people everywhere and children’s videos that get replayed nonstop dominate YouTube.
It also shows how entertainment has changed. Years ago, no one thought kids’ songs would compete with famous music stars. But today, channels like Pinkfong and Cocomelon are some of the biggest names on the platform.
In 2025 and beyond, new videos will continue to break records. With new trends like short videos, AI-created music, and interactive content, YouTube will keep evolving. One thing is clear—YouTube will remain the number one place for viral videos and global hits.
